[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1225901, member: 54178"] "Longshot", I remember that handle from an Army sniper I sent freeze-dried food to when he was in Iraq several years ago. He has requested it at the Backpacking Light website. That wouldn't be you would it? Anyway, If I go above 140 gr. 6.4 bullets I'll need a faster twist like 1:7.7 or 1:7.5. That means less velocity and more trajectory. So I'll stick with 1:8 twist and 143 ELD-X bullets as my max weight. In my RPR I'm easily hitting at 1,000 yards in competitions when I do my part. I can see stretching it to 1,200 yds. but then even 140 gr. bullets begin to go transonic. Heavier bullets would carry supersonic further but at a fatter trajectory. Like all ballistics it's a trade-off. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
